120 - "Shogun" Review & Recap

The Project Infinite Podcast

Send us a message that we can respond to at the end of every episode!

A ton of important news and notes paired with a must-have discussion about a generational TV show paves the way for our longest episode ever! A supercharged 3 hour conversation that spans the casting of Ralph Ineson as Galactus, the Superman suit, a Lord of the Rings Revival and so much more. Then we dive into FX’s “Shogun,” one of the best TV shows, not just of recent memory, but of all time. As a one and done, we felt we needed to give it its entire due, leading to a nearly 2 and half hour breakdown of the Japanese epic. Timecodes are provided if you want to skip around to your topic of choice!
